New Delhi, Jan 24 Food delivery platform Swiggy on Monday said it has raised $700 million led by Invesco, which will be utilised to make investments in its quick-commerce grocery service Instamart.In the last few months, Swiggy has expanded Instamart to 19 cities, as grocery delivery becomes the next big thing in the country."The GMV our food delivery business achieved in 40 months, took Instamart just 17 months, demonstrating the platform benefits of Swiggy. We will double down on this to build more categories in line with our mission of offering unparalleled convenience to Indian consumers," said Sriharsha Majety, CEO, of Swiggy.The new funding round also saw participation from Baron Capital Group, Sumeru Venture, IIFL AMC Late Stage Tech Fund, Kotak, Axis Growth Avenues AIF- I, Sixteenth Street Capital, Ghisallo, Smile Group and Segantii Capital.Swiggy had raised a massive $1.25 billion six months ago.Swiggy's existing investors Alpha Wave Global (formerly Falcon Edge Capital), Qatar Investment Authority, and ARK Impact, along with its long-term investor Prosus also participated in the round.Instamart remains well-positioned to continue to lead the emerging quick commerce grocery space and is set to reach an annualised GMV run rate of $1 billion in the next three quarters."Our goal is to make Swiggy the platform that 100 million consumers can use 15 times a month," Majety added.The platform has launched Swiggy One, India's first comprehensive membership programme with benefits across food, groceries, and other on-demand services by Swiggy."As long-term investors, the Invesco Developing Markets fund seeks investment opportunities in the best companies in the world, led by world-class management teams, and that have the potential for long-term structural growth," said Justin Leverenz, Chief Investment Officer, Invesco Developing Markets Fund.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
